Penalties for Violating Protection Orders
At Johnson Law Group, we understand the gravity of protection orders and the importance of adhering to their terms. Violating a protection order is severe, with significant legal consequences.
Here is a breakdown of potential penalties:
- Criminal charges may be filed: Violating a protection order can lead to criminal charges, such as contempt of court or violation of a restraining order, potentially resulting in fines, probation, or jail time.
- Increased restrictions may be imposed: A violation can prompt the court to impose stricter terms on the existing protection order, such as extending its duration or adding new restrictions.
- Rights may be lost: In certain situations, violating a protection order can result in losing specific rights, including the right to possess firearms.
It is vital to understand that any contact with the protected individual that contravenes the order's terms can be considered a violation, regardless of how minor it seems. We strongly recommend that anyone subject to a protection order carefully review its terms and fully understand the potential repercussions of any violation. We can provide clarification and guidance if you have questions about a specific protection order.

Before working with Johnson Law. I had a previous attorney who completely screwed us over. He definitely only took us on for the money. He had no communication, mixed us up with different clients and so much more. So my husband and I were very scared working with a different attorney and getting screwed over again but we took the chance with Johnson law. We are currently working with Shana Velez, Kristina Contreras, and Julie Hernandez. After expressing my concerns because of the previous attorney they have kept amazing communication with me. They know who they are speaking to every time, they know my case, and they definitely don’t try to just take my money. They do their best to save me money as much as they can! These ladies have done such an amazing job with my case so far! 10/10 highly recommend! I will be back with another review once we are done working with them :)- Sierra S.

From the initial phone call I spoke to Myles Johnson, he gave great direction on how to proceed. Then acquiring the firm as my legal representation I worked with Said and he helped me step by step to get what I was looking for. I have already recommended two different individuals I know to Johnson Law Group and will be using them for all future situations. From the legal team to Cory at the front desk, everyone at the firm is top-notch.- Brady M.

I called Johnson Law Group extremely frustrated and stressed with the process of my custody case. From the consultation to every conversation after, Elizabeth went out of her way to make sure that i was comfortable with all the matters and decisions. My goals and the safety of my children were always the priority to the JLG team. I highly recommend Elizabeth and the whole Johnson Law Group team to anyone going through custody matters. Elizabeth, Cassidy, and Paola were amazing. I would happily use them again if needed.- Patricia

Shana Velazquez and Julie Hernandez helped me with my divorce and they were amazing. Shana was so good about explaining everything to me and calming my anxiety.

Myles is the best representation for anyone who has to go through an APR case. From day 1 he was very welcoming and attentive to me and what I was going through. I always felt very respected by him and the other members of his firm. Myles always took the time to really investigate any information or things involved with my case. I knew he was truly invested in my best wishes. When there were deadlines that needed to be met, they always were. If I was ever confused about a process, paperwork or court proceedings Myles took the time to explain and make sure I was comfortable and understood what was going on. All the way through Mediation. He was an absolute success and I could not have asked for better representation. I will always recommend Myles to anyone in need an attorney.
The Process of Filing a Protection Order in Denver
At Johnson Law Group, we understand that seeking a protection order can feel overwhelming, and we can provide clear, step-by-step guidance.
Here is what you can expect:
- Gather documentation: This crucial first step involves collecting any evidence supporting your need for protection. This might include police reports, medical records, threatening messages (texts, emails, voicemails), photos of injuries, or witness statements. The more documentation you have, the stronger your case will be.
- Complete the petition: You must complete a petition or application for a protection order. This form will require detailed information about yourself, the abuser, and the specific incidents that have led you to seek protection. Accuracy and thoroughness are essential.
- File with the court: Once the petition is complete, file it with the appropriate court in your jurisdiction. Court clerks can assist with the filing process and answer procedural questions.
- Serve the order: After the court issues a protection order, it must be "served" on the abuser, officially notifying them of the order and its terms. Service is typically carried out by law enforcement or a professional process server.
- Attend the court hearing: A hearing will be scheduled where both parties can present their case. Attending and preparing to present your evidence and testimony is crucial.
- Enforce the order: If the abuser violates the protection order, immediately contact law enforcement. Violations can have serious legal consequences.
We understand that navigating this process can be challenging. Johnson Law Group can provide the support and guidance you need every step of the way. Call (720) 744-3513 or contact us online to schedule a free consultation with a Denver order of protection lawyer today.
